Official Title: Acetazolamide as a Means to Mitigate Falling Ventilatory Drive and Drive-dependent OSA
Brief Summary:
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disorder that has major consequences for cardiovascular health, neurocognitive function, risk of traffic accidents, daytime sleepiness, and quality of life.For years, a "classic" model of OSA has been used to describe the disorder, which fails to capture it's complexity.Recently, a model for OSA called drive-dependent OSA was discovered be more prevalent in the OSA population.This drive-dependent OSA is due to ventilation instability that occurs…
